Looking for a Halloween card that is more cute and less spook? Check out these adorable sneak peek Hippo Halloween cards that are adorable in every way!
Today’s fun Hippo Halloween card creations are from our designer, Meghan, who says, “I’m soooo excited to share this sneak peek from the “Autumn Bliss” Release with you. I am showing off one of my favorite stamp sets from the release, set 36056 Halloween Hippos. They are just adorable and so unique in their little costumes.” We agree and are excited to share this sneak peek with you! Follow along as Meghan shows you how to make two unique “Hippy” Halloween Cards!
Card #1: Let’s Meet for Treats
Step 1: I made my purple background with Brass & Bliss 4204 Bokeh Stencil. I used Color Fuse Set #6 Magenta and Lavender for the light and dark shades of purple with Brass & Bliss Large Blending Brushes.
Step 2: I colored up the hippo with various shades of purple Copic Sketch Markers to match my background.
Step 3: I die-cut my background with Brass & Bliss 5176D Nested Deckle Rectangle Dies and made my tag with the Brass & Bliss 5514-02D Holiday Tags Dies. I stamped the cute sentiment on the tag and added the hippo to the edge.
Step 4: I mounted the tag at a diagonal to the center of my card. Then I added more sentiments from the Halloween Hippos set to the corners. I finished my card with some purple enamel dots.
Card #2: Hip-Hippo-Ray Halloween is on the Way
Step 1: I colored up the cute Brass & Bliss 36056 Halloween Hippos with Copic Markers. My grays were N5, N4, N3; Oranges YR18, YR68, YR16
Step 2: I made my background blending the Color Fuse Set #6 Magenta, Color Fuse Set #2 Apricot, and Color Fuse Set #12 Hearth to make a spooky sky.
Step 3: I splattered my background with white Copic Paint and black ink. I die cut the NEW Brass & Bliss 5726-03D Tree Cover Die out of black and mounted it to my background.
Step 4: I added my hippos to the bottom of the card with the tiny pumpkin and skull. Then put the bat above the little pumpkin hippo’s head.
Step 5: I finished my card with the Hip-Hippo-Ray Sentiment on Brass & Bliss 5605-03D Off Set Tags Dies and mounting it to the top right side.
Wow! We just LOVE the bright purple in these cards and how it SCREAMS Halloween! These hippos keep the spooks to a minimum with their adorable costumes and sweet little faces! If you love cutsey, these sets are most definitely for you! We hope you enjoyed this sneak peek. Be sure to check back on September 18th for the full “Autumn Bliss” Release!
